LUPTA ROMEI ÎMPOTRIVA PIRATERIEI ÎN SECOLUL I Î.HR. /Rome’s struggle against piracy in the Ist centuryB.C.

Abstract

 In the first century B.C., Rome encountered a new enemy, the pirates, originating from the Eastern Mediterranean. They undermined Rome’s authority in the region, causing the blockage of commercial routes and, consequently, of the grain transports that were destined for Rome. The crisis reached to an end by the year 66 B.C., when Pompey was put in charge of the military forces necessary to clear the Mediterranean of the terror inflicted by the pirates.
